    STEERING COUPLING MAY BECOME LOOSE

    Defect

    The threaded connection for the steering column coupling to the steering rack pinion may not be tightened correctly. Overtime time the connection could loosen and fall out allowing a situation where the steering control could be lost.

    Remedy

    Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and check the tightness of the threaded connection for the steering column coupling. Where necessary the joint will be removed and inspected. If not serviceable it will be replaced. A new threaded connection will be used where the tightness is not correct.
